Default Threaded Drill bits

All,
Do any of the normal stores (Home Depot, Harbor Freight, Lowe's, Sears, etc.) stock threaded drill bits. I need a #19 threaded drill bit for my right angle drill and hate to place such a small order like that with Avery or AS.

Thanks,

I asked once @ Lowes and they looked at me like I was crazy... the guy had never heard of those before.

Default Threaded bits

Look in the phone book for industrial supply companies; they will stock stuff like this, but may not carry a #19. I'd call first; besides, then you won't be needlessly tempted by all the other neat stuff they carry. Don't ask me how I know.

If you do end up ordering them, take a look here: http://yardstore.com/index.cfm?Actio...ry&Category=70

Good selection and price (though the page isn't very well organized).

Jim

I know most threaded drills are 1/4-28 thread but, has anybody ever seen any with 5/16-24 thread?

Default Thanks to all

Les,
I called Production Tool today. Brian wasn't there. However, I plan to drop by there tomorrow. Thanks for bringing them to my attention!

Robert,
There is a Northern Tool right across the street from where I work. I will also go by there tomorrow.

Thanks again to all who replied.

I have seen them in pictures a long long time ago.

Try finding a drill for one!
